AutoExec Summary
An Australian TikTok user went viral after revealing a little-known road rule in Australia that requires manual cars to have an H sticker on the gear shifter. This sticker helps drivers know the position of gears and can prevent a defect notice if not present. While some commenters were surprised by the rule, others shared their experiences with law enforcement. However, most regulations do not require this sticker, and different states have varying rules regarding its necessity. While some drivers have received defect notices for not having the sticker, it ultimately comes down to the discretion of the police officer. Police officers can issue defect notices and fines for vehicles found to be defective or unsafe. Depending on the location, drivers may be able to contest the notice if certain requirements are not mandated. The article discusses a TikToker highlighting an unusual Australian road rule.
